One secret, one nightmare, one lie. You guess which is which.
1. I have the scar of a gunshot on my forehead.

Kellen Adams suffers from a yearlong gap in her memory. A bullet to the brain will cause that. But she’s discovering the truth, and what she learns changes her life, her confidence, her very self. She finds herself in the wilderness, on the run, unprepared, her enemies unknown—and she is carrying a priceless burden she must protect at all costs. The consequences of failure would break her. And Kellen Adams does not break.
What doesn’t kill her…had better start running.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dodd's prequel to 2018's Dead Girl Running starts slowly, weighed down by protagonist Kellen Adams's complicated backstory, which includes a murder/suicide; a stolen identity; a stint in the army in Afghanistan; a stretch of homelessness; 13 months in a coma, during which she produced a child; and a budding romance with "tall, dark, handsome, Italian-American, broad-shouldered former football player" Max Di Luca. The present-day action finds Kellen at the Di Luca Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley, trying to reconnect with her seven-year-old daughter, Rae, and re-establish a relationship with Max, the little girl's father. She accepts a job with a government agency, and is charged with picking up "a priceless antique head" and taking it to "a weird recluse expert." When Rae stows away in the van in which her mother is traveling, Kellen finds herself pursued by two groups of villains: one wants her dead, the other wants the antique marble head. Fans of romantic suspense who don't mind a lack of realism will be satisfied.
